GIGANTIC SCHEMES.
Rumored Railroad Line From
Ocean to Ocean Definitely
Mapped Out.
The Northern Pacific to Connect With
the Michigan Central and New
York Central.

IsHPEMINa, Mich, Oct 29.-The cat Is
out of the bag at last. The Northern
Pacific, Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic,
Michigan Central, and New York Gen.
trail s. Hudson River railroads have
formed an alliance, offensive and defen-
sive, and will constitute a ley through
line from the Pacific to the Atlantic as
soon as the Duluth, South Shore & At
lantic railway extension is completed,
which will be about Jan. l. Two other
railroads are interested in this arrange
ment. The Canadian Pacific is building
a branch line to Sault Ste. Marie, which
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic has
already reached by a similar line. An
international bridge, costing $3.50, 600, is
now we'll under way and will span the
rapids of the Ste. Marie before Christ
mas. The Canadian Pacific will take a
portion of the western grain and produce
at the 800" and haul direct
to Montreal for shipment to
Europe. The Milwaukee Northern
will be extended to a junction with the
Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic, after
which the Milwaukee & Northern will
run through trains from Milwaukee to
Ontonagon, using the South Shore lines
track between Republic n Dogberry.
BY this arrangement the Milwaukee &
Northern gets a Lake Superior terminus
at O~ntonagon and the Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic gets a direct line to
Milwaukee and Chicago. The arrange
ment is mutually beneficial and there
fore likely to last. All this consolida-
ton and pooling of interests bodies no
good to the Chicago s. Northwestern
railway, which for years has had almost
a monoboiv the freight between the
upper peninsula o Michigan and the rest
of the country. This yea$ ne Cnlcago
Northwestern has extended itSASnoA@
nee River line from Iron River to the Go
gebic ange, where it connects with the
Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western, a
friendly line, which has Ashland rs its
northern terminus. The Chicago &
Northwestern is now building from Ish-
peming TO Republic and Michigamme,
and will probably build to Houghton,
the leading town of the copper region,
next year.
There can be no doubt that the Chicago
& Northwestern would like to cur a
firm hold Of the iron mining industry of
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota.
The men who purchased the Minnesota
Iron company's mines for 5000, 900 a
few months ago are all more or less iden-
titled with the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway company. The Northwestern is
playing for a great stake and the game
will be well played, too.
The Wisconsin Midland is the title
assumed by the proposed line of railroad
from Fond du Lac, Wis, to L,Anse
on lake Superior. The road will be built
if the money can be raised. The Duluth,
South Shore & Atlantic is building a
branch line from L'Anse to Dogwood on
the extension and L'Anse will become a
shipping point for iron ore from the Mar
quette and Gogebic iron ranges.

CUTTING COAL RATES.

Substantial Reductions Made to Western
and Northwestern Points.
ST. PAUL, Oct. 27.-The Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul, the Milwaukee &
Northern and the Milwaukee, Lake Shore
& Western roads have met the cut in soft
coal rates that the Chicago & North
western road made. The Chicago, Mil
waukee & ST. Paul made rates from
Spring Valley to points in Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa and Dakota, and similar
rates from Milwaukee, Chicago, La
Sale, Streator, Danville and Grape Creek.
This is substantially another reduction of
40 cents atom on the last figures published
by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul.
Since the cutting commenced the rate has

PLAN OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Troops Viii Move on Sword-Bearer Mon
day or Tuesday.

Troops VIII Move on SWOfd-Be3rer hOn-
day or Tuesday.
FORT CUSTER, Mont, Oct. 3i.-The
situation remains practically unchanged.
An interview with several men well
acquainted among the Indians elicits the
GER opinion that if the troops are
cadsgus and spill no Indian blood there
will be no trouble, but if one Indian is
killed there is no telling where
the trouble may end. The troops
from Mckinney were reported last
night to be two days march
from Grass Lodge, where they
were ordered to intercept the retreat of
the Indians to the mountains. The
troops are drilled every day in full march
ing order. The Indians are reported to
have moved their camp. From reliable
sources it is learned that the troops will
move on Sword Bearers camp Monday
or Tuesday. The plan of the camp will
be to put a large force in the field, sur
round the Indian camp and advance,
thus preventing escape.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-The Western

section OF Dakota happy now.
The information conveyed by the
Huronite. if confirmed by subsequent
operations, is most important. Huron's
show for o coal mine is precisely as
good as was Yankton's show few years
ago and as Yankton's show now is.
Here the coal was found in successive
borings some distance apart, the same
as at Huron. But the Yankton PROS
pectors never carried their investigations
beyond experimental boring. The coal
deposit is stiil there with O few minute
holes III it, That is, we believe
it to be there and have every
reason to retain such belief until proof
to the contrary is given. What
the Ysukton discovery lacks is shaft
and until this is constructed we will not
know whether we have coal bed or
whether the deposit is pocket" left
by aqueous or glacial action. Huron's
Information relative to it's coal find is
no more than the information relative
to the Yankton coal find, but Huron
proposes to satisfy itself by the only
practical course-it will sink q shaft.
Ihen its prospeotors can go down into
bowels of the earth and look around and
after this they will be competent to pass
en- opinion. The samples of coal taken
from the prospect holes near Huron are
classified as bituminous, bat from the
newspaper description we take them to

up from the Yankton prospect holes.-a
superior quality OF Ignite, better for
heat producing purposes than most of

the samples from the two widely separa-
ted points are identical in quality the fact
wall go far in support of the presump
ton that vast fields of carbon exist in
the valley OF the Jim, which has already
demonstrated geological characteristies
peculiar to that locality. Yankton will
be an interested spectator of the pro-
posed coal delving operations OF Huron.
Let the work proceed and give us the re-
suits. All the valley of the Jim south OF

Chicago Tribune: Sheriff Matson
has as yet made no preparations
that he is willing to give for pub

the case made such course on
his part wise. AS far as the actual work
of setting up the machinery of execution
is concerned, 1t can be done In q very
few hours, and other necessary details
can be arranged st very short notice
There is feeling IN some quarters thai
the governor may grant short respite
upon proper application in order to give
the condemned time to prepare thei,
their souls for eternity. The sheriff
disllkes his job extremely, aud feels that
IN view OF the uncertainties. in the mat
ter any parade OF arrangements sooner
than is necessary is In poor taste.
he has, however, practically decided
upon one thing, and that is that he will
not ask for the presence OF mIlitia the
day of execution. He believes the
police are abundantly able to furnish
ample protection, and in this view he is
confirmed by the police themselves. 1t
rs isprobabie that il the seven swing ac-
eording TO sentence. they will be hung
in two divisions. 1t viii be difficult
with the room at disposal in the north
corridor OF the jail, to hang the seven at
one time. and for this reason the terri
BILE scene will probably be acted twice.
The-gallows will be so arranged that
one man will pull the drop for all at
once, instead OF man to each. His
